The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Functional Group**: The question asks about the carbon-oxygen double bond, which is a specific functional group in organic chemistry. 2. **Define the Carbonyl Group**: The carbon-oxygen double bond (C=O) is known as the carbonyl group. This group is a key feature in various organic compounds. 3. **Differentiate Between Aldehydes and Ketones**: - If the carbonyl group is at the end of a carbon chain (i.e., it is bonded to at least one hydrogen atom), the compound is classified as an aldehyde. - If the carbonyl group is located within a carbon chain and is bonded to two carbon atoms (i.e., it has no hydrogen atoms directly attached to the carbonyl carbon), the compound is classified as a ketone. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the carbon-oxygen double bond is specifically referred to as the carbonyl group, which can be further classified into aldehydes and ketones based on its structure. ### Final Answer: The carbon-oxygen double bond is called the **carbonyl group**. ---
